I find the right hand side foliage a bit murky, especially given the style, like everything else, the technique reminds me of Rouault, although more controlled, especially the mask which for me was the most intriguing part.
would help to give the dimensions, no doubt has more impact in real life.

Hi Ross,

Thanks.

I give the dimensions in the line under the painting: 36" x 48". It's about as big as I make them.

I think the greens in the upper right tie in well enough with the few I have at bottom left and the garland. The painting, I think, is nothing like a Rouault. There is an allegorical reading to it that might support the wild natural forms in the upper right. Not quite sure what you mean by murky. It is a detail-less space in a painting with a lot of detail, I think. A wild space offsetting the control elsewhere.

I'm glad the mask is working! That was my biggest risk here.

Rick
